ADDRESS  OF  THE  BISHOP 


Brethren  of  the  Clergy  and  Laity: 

We  meet  for  our  one  hundred  and  seventh  annual  Diocesan 
Convention  in  what,  in  our  new  American  life,  we  call  one 
of  our  old  parishes.  In  a  Chronological  List  of  our  parishes, 
which  I  made  some  years  ago,  and  which  used  to  be  printed 
as  an  Appendix  to  our  Book  of  Diocesan  Canons,  St.  Steph- 
en's, Oxford,  stood  eighth  in  the  roll  of  the  parishes  of  this 
Diocese.  It  sent  a  delegate  to  the  Convention  which  met  in 
St.  Luke's  Church,  Salisbury,  in  1823,  the  Convention  which 
elected  Bishop  Ravenscroft;  and  it  was  admitted  into  union 
with  the  Diocese  at  that  time.  It  was  not,  however,  until 
1832  that  St.  Stephen's  Church  was  again  represented  in 
the  Convention,  and  I  suppose  its  real  progress  dated  from 
this  latter  year.  But  we  are  hoping  to  hear  something  of 
those  old  times  and  old  Churchmen  from  those  who  shall 
speak  to  us  in  the  commemoration  of  the  one  hundredth 
anniversary  of  St.  Stephen's,  Oxford. 

There  must  be  much  that  is  good  in  the  past  of  St.  Steph- 
en's, because  so  much  good  is  evident  in  its  present.  This 
beautiful  stone  church,  one  of  the  most  attractive  among 
the  churches  of  the  Diocese,  is  the  expression  of  an  inward 
beauty  and  devotion,  more  pleasing  than  any  structure  of 
timber  and  stone.  In  a  large  and  opulent  parish  much 
architectural  grandeur  and  beauty  may  be  produced  by  the 
lavish  outlay  of  money,  without  any  necessary  inward  quali- 
ties to  match  the  outward  grace.  Money  can  buy  stone 
and  timber,  glass,  paint,  and  gilding,  brass  and  silver  and 
gold.  And  in  a  strong  and  opulent  parish  these  things  may 
also  mean  the  fairer  and  more  enduring  graces  of  love  and 
faith  and  humble  devotion.     Those  who  are  poor  need  not 

1 


imagine  that  they  are  thereby  necessarily  better  than  their 
richer  neighbors.  One  of  the  happy  signs  of  these  times 
is  that  we  see  many  evidences  of  unselfish  generosity  and 
humble  devotion  in  those  most  abounding  in  this  world's 
goods.  But  when  this  church  was  built  this  was  a  small 
and  by  no  means  a  rich  congregation.  And  while  they  were 
forward  in  responding  to  their  diocesan  and  general  duties, 
they  found  the  meansi  out  of  their  comparatively  scanty 
store,  to  erect  this  beautiful  building.  To  me  it  speaks 
eloquently  of  saintly!  lives  and  strong  hearts,  who  have 
passed  on  before  us,  as  well  as  of  many  good  and  true 
Christian  men  and  women  still  with  us.  That  past  must 
have  many  elements  of  interest  which  has  provided  for 
the  church  today  that  which  we  now  find  in  St.  Stephen's 
Church,  Oxford. 

Meeting  here  in  our  annual  Diocesan  Convention,  we 
cannot  limit  our  views  to  our  local  interests  and  duties.  We 
are  conscious  of  our  wider  relations ;  and  the  most  impress- 
ive event  in  our  National  Church  in  the  recent  past  is 
the  death  of  our  late  Presiding  Bishop,  the  Rt.  Rev.  Daniel 
Sylvester  Tuttle,  of  Missouri.  Ordained  Deacon  at  the 
age  of  twenty-five,  advanced  to  the  Priesthood  at  twenty- 
six,  he  was  made  Missionary  Bishop  of  Utah  and  a  vast 
region  of  the  unsettled  West,  when  barely  thirty,  and  con- 
tinued in  that  arduous  work  for  nineteen  years,  until  elected 
Bishop  of  Missouri  in  1896.  Upon  the  death  of  Bishop 
Thos.  March  Clark,  of  Rhode  Island,  he  became  Presid- 
ing Bishop  by  right  of  seniority,  in  September,  1903, 
and  for  nearly  twenty  years  has  discharged  the  very  im- 
portant duties  of  that  office  with  faithful  diligence,  having 
taken  order  for  the  Consecration  of  one  hundred  and  twelve 
Bishops;  and  during  his  long  Episcopate  of  fifty-six  years, 
taken  part  personally  in  the  Consecration  of  eighty-eight. 
His  Episcopate  of  fifty-six  years,  lacking  a  few  days,  was 
the  longest  in  the  history  of  our  American  Church,  and 
at  the  time  of  his  death  he  had,  for/,  some  years  been  the 
Senior  by  Consecration  of  all  the  Bishops  in  the  Anglican 

2 


Communion  throughout  the  world.  Bishop  White,  of  Penn- 
sylvania, who  died  in  1836,  had  been  Presiding  Bishop 
for  about  forty-five  years,  but  Bishop  Tuttle's  Episcopate 
exceeded  Bishop  White's  by  seven  years.  His  personality 
has  so  impressed  itself  upon  all  parts  of  the  Church  that 
I  need  say  little  about  him.  Big  and  masterful  in  body, 
and  also  big  in  heart  and  in  soul,  he  dominated  with  his 
loving  and  generous  Christian  manhood  any  environment 
in  which  he  might  find  himself.  Good  and  great  and  wise 
and  single-hearted,  he  was  a  noble  representative  of  our 
National  Church,  and  his  influence  still  lives  and  blesses 
the  Church  and  the  country.  He  once  said  to  me,  in  sub- 
stance— I  do  not  remember  his  exact  language — that  when 
he  saw  in  the  House  of  Bishops  so  many  noble  and  godly 
Bishops,  who  had  been  soldiers  in  the  Confederate  army, 
and  found  that  none  of  our  Bishops  had  served  in  the 
Northern  army,  it  made  him  feel  that  he  ought  to  have 
gone  into  the  Northern  army  himself,  as  he  was  a  grown 
man  when  the  war  began  in  1861,  and  had  not  then  entered 
the  ministry. 

We  have  lost  two  of  our  very  dear  brethren  from  the 
ranks  of  our  Diocesan  Clergy1  since  we  last  met,  though 
neither  of  them  had  been  in  actual  residence  in  the  Diocese 
for  some  time. 

The  Rev.  William  Hoke  Ramsaur,  canonically  connected 
with  the  Diocese,  though  for  several  years  one  of  our  mis- 
sionaries in  Liberia,  died  in  Monrovia,  Liberia,  May  28th, 
being  the  Sunday  after  Ascension]  Day.  Mr.  Ramsaur 
was  a  native  of  North  Carolina,  a  graduate  of  our  State 
University,  and  was  ordained  by  me  both  to  the  Diaconate 
and  to  the  Priesthood  in  St.  Luke's  Church,  Salisbury. 
Among  all  the  young  men  whom  I  have  ordained  to  the 
Holy  Ministry,  I  do  not  think  there  has  been  one  who 
seemed  to  me  to  be;  of  a  finer  type  of  young  manhood, 
physically,  mentally  and  spiritually.  Loved  and  admired 
at  home,  with  every  prospect  of  the  most  desirable  and 
remunerative  positions  which  the  Church  has  to  offer,  he, 

3 


from  the  first,  devoted  himself  to  the  hardest  and  least 
attractive  fields  of  Foreign  Missions.  His  first  desire  was 
to  go  as  a  missionary  among  Mohammedan  people,  but, 
failing  of  opportunity  in  that  direction,  he  offered  himself 
for  our  work  in  Africa.  His  few  years  spent  in  this  work 
gave  great  promise  of  usefulness,  but  "he  walked  with  God, 
and  was  not,  for  God  took  him."  His  is  another  name  in 
the  roll  of  noble  lives  given  for  our  work  in  Africa. 

June  8th,  the  Rev.  William  Walker,  for  many  years  a 
Priest  of  this  Diocese,  died  in  Weymouth,  Mass.  In  Senior- 
ity of  Orders  he  stood  second  in  our  Clergy  List,  and  of 
his  fifty-six  years  in  the  ministry,  thirty-nine  were  in  canon- 
ical connection  with  this  Diocese.  He  served  as  parish 
priest  and  missionary  in  various  parts  of  the  Diocese,  but 
his  most  important  work  with  us  was  as  Archdeacon  of 
our  Colored  work  from  1891  to  1897.  He  was  a  man,  pure, 
earnest,  unselfish  and  devoted.  As  a  Priest  he  was  wholly 
consecrated  to  his  work.  He  was  by  nature  rather  resented, 
not  quickly  showing  his  best  qualities,  and  therefore  not 
always  fully  known  or  appreciated.  Those  who  knew  him 
well  loved  him;  and  if  he  had  a  positive  fault  I  never 
observed  it.  He  gave  us  years  of  faithful  service,  and  we 
remember  him  with  love  and  respect. 

But  we  must  turn  from  these  tender  and  solemn  thoughts 
of  the  past,  and  give  ourselves  to  the  duties  and  responsi- 
bilities of  the  present.

A  summary  of  the  preceding  report  shows  for  the  whole  year: 
Services,  133;  Holy  Communion,  37;  Sermons,  57;  Addresses,  23; 
Infant  Baptisms,  2i;  Marriages,  2;  Funerals,  10;  Churches  conse- 
crated, 2;  Rectors  instituted,  1;  Confirmations,  523.  The  Report 
of  the  Bishop  Coadjutor  shows  63  Confirmations,  and  that  of  the 
Suffragan  Bishop,  65;  so  the  total  Confirmations  in  the  Diocese  for 
the  year  1922  is  651. 

Outside  the  Diocese  I  officiated  on  a  few  occasions : 

August  6,  the  Feast  of  the  Transfiguration  being  also  the  Eighth 
Sunday  After  Trinity,  in  All  Faith  Church,  St.  Mary's  County. 
Maryland,  Diocese  of  Washington,  in  the  absence  of  the  Rector, 
and  at  his  request,  I  said  Morning  Prayer,  preached  and  adminis- 
tered the  Holy  Communion.  August  11,  in  the  same  parish,  with 
the  consent  of  the  Rector,  I  administered  the  Holy  Communion  in 
a  private  house. 

November  17,  in  St.  John's  Church,  Georgetown,  Diocese  of 
Washington,  I  officiated  with  the  Rector  at  a  funeral,  and  the 
same  day  read  the  Committal  at  the  interment  of  the  body  in  the 
Churchyard  of  the  All  Faith  Church,  St.  Mary's  County. 

August  15,  I  started  from  Washington  City  for  Portland,  intend- 
ing to  spend  a  couple  of  weeks  in  visiting  one  or  two  of  the  great 
National   Parks   of   the   Northwest.     Tuesday,    August   22,   walking 

1  o 


in  the  Yellowstone  Park,  near  Yellow  Stone  Lake,  the  ground 
broke  under  my  feet  and  scalded  the  lower  part  of  both  legs  so 
severely  that  I  eventually  had  to  go  to  a  hospital  in  Spokane,  and 
did  not  reach  Portland  until  Saturday  night,  September  16.  Mon- 
day, September  18,  and  until  Saturday  23,  the  last  six  days  of  the 
session  of  the  General  Convention,  I  was  able  to  be  in  my  place 
and  to  take  some  small  part  in  the  proceedings  of  the  House  of 
Bishops. 

While  confined  to  my  bed  in  St.  Luke's  Hospital,  Spokane,  I  bap- 
tized an  infant  about  to  undergo  a  severe  surgical  operation.  I 
reached  home  October  6.  Thus  it  will  be  seen  that  outside  the 
Diocese  I  officiated  on  three  occasions,  administered  the  Holy 
Communion  twice,  preached  once  and  baptized  one  infant. 

February  26,  Quinquagesima  Sunday,  I  consecrated  All  Saints' 
Church,  Roanoke  Rapids.  The  Petition  for  Consecration  was  read 
by  Mr.  T.  Wilson  Mullen,  Warden,  and  the  Sentence  of  Consecra- 
tion, by  Archdeacon  Bethea.  The  Rev.  N.  Collin  Hughes,  D.  D., 
preached  the  sermon. 

April  28  I  consecrated  the  Chapel  of  Hope,  Charlotte.  The  Peti- 
tion for  Consecration  was  read  by  Mr.  J.  Frank  Wilkes,  Senior 
Warden  of  St.  Peter's  Church,  by  which  parish  this  important 
mission  was  organized  and  has  been  carried  on;  the  Sentence  of 
Consecration  was  read  by  Archdeacon  Hardin;    I  preached. 

Bishop  Fenick  will  report  the  Ordination  of  one  Deacon,  and 
Bishop  Delany  has  ordained  one  Deacon,  and  has  advanced  one 
Deacon  to  the  Priesthood,  making  3  ordinations  for  the  year. 

There  were  the  following  losses  of  Clergy  during  1922 : 
The  Rev.  Wm.  Hoke  Ramsaur,  died  May  28,  1922. 
The  Rev.  William  Walker,  died  June  8,  1922. 

We  have  lost : 
By  Letters  Dismissory: 

The  Rev.  Reginald  Mallett,  to  East  Carolina,  June  1,  1922. 

The  Rev.  Charles  Aylett  Ashby,  to  Florida,  August  14,  1922.

10,   1922.

ber 6,  1922. 

Our  gains  up  to  January  1st,  1923,  were,  therefore,  only 
five  against  seven  lost.  This  net  loss  of  two  is,  however, 
balanced  practically ,  by  gains  since  the  end  of  1922,  of 
one  by  ordination,  the  Rev.  Frederick  Hubert  Uriah  Ed- 
wards, and  the  Rev.  Thomas  Fletcher  Opie  received  January 
1st  from  East  Carolina.  We  have  also  three  Priests  at 
work  in  the  Diocese,  who  have  not  been  canonically  trans- 
ferred to  us,  as  will  appear  below.

his  service  in  Emmanuel  Church,  Southern  Pines,  and  his 
engagement  as  Missioner  for  the  Diocese,  and  has  since  been 
holding  missions  in  a  number  of  the  Churches  in  the  Dio- 
cese by  personal  arrangements  with  local  Clergymen.

The  Rev.  ]ST.  Collin  Hughes,  D.D.,  has  resigned  charge

The  Rev.  Basil  M.  Walton  has  succeeded  the  Rev. 
Mr.  Crosby  in  charge  of  St.  John's  Church,  Williamsboro, 
including,  in  that  old  Parish,  Holy  Trinity  Church,  Towns- 
ville.  He  serves  also  Middleburg  and  St.  Peter's  Church, 
Stovall. 

With  the  beginning  of  the  year  1923  the  Rev.  Thomas  1 !'.

Burlington ;  and  the  Rev.  Fred.  H.  IT.  Edwards,  ordained

Much  business  of  importance  will  come  before  this  Con- 
vention. I  am  much  struck  with  the  increasing  extent  of 
our  Diocesan  interests  and  the  increasing1  volume  of  our 
Church  business;  the  growth  of  our  Church  institutions, 
the  multiplication  of  our  activities  and  of  our  agencies  for 
work :  boards,  committees,  commissions,  the  larger  interests, 
the  greater  expense,  and  our  more  numerous  responsibilities 
on  every  side.     And  I  am  very  thankful  to  say  that  it  seems 

16 


to  me  that  we  bear  these  greater  burdens  and  respond  to 
these  varied  duties  with  greater  readiness  and  with  more 
efficient  action  than  we  used  to  show  in  our  smaller  affairs. 
This  seems  peculiarly  the  case  with  the  business  of  our 
Diocesan  Convention.  We  should  be  most  grateful  to  Him 
Who  maketh  men  to  be  •  of  one  mind  in  an  house  for  His 
gracious  presence  granted  to  us  in  these  annual  Conven- 
tions. How  harmonious  as  a  rule  have  been  our  associations 
herein,  and  how  much  effective  work  have  we  accomplished 
within  the  past  few  years !  More  than  anything  else,  I 
desire  a  continuance  of  this  blessed  harmony  in  our  coun- 
sels and  unity  in  an  action. 

Our  various'  boards  and  committees  will  bring  before 
you  those  objects  which  deeply  demand  your  attention: 
St.  Mary's  School,  the  Thompson  Orphanage,  our  Diocesan 
Missionary  work,  administered  under  our  three  Archdeacons 
in  their  several  Convocations;  and  our  Educational  and 
Social  problems.  These  will  all  receive  your  interest  and 
attention.  Were  I  to  enlarge  upon  each,  and  say  what 
comes  to  my  mind  as  bearing  upon  each  of  these  branches 
of  our  work,  this  Address  would  grow  to  an  unreasonable 
length.  I  am  thankful  to  feel  that  you  do  not  need  my 
instruction  or  exhortation,  since  you  are  fully  alive  to  the 
importance  of  our  work,  and  know  how  to  deal  with  it 
effectively. 

One  subject  has  so  general  and  fundamental  a  relation 
to  all  our  work  and  is  of  so  pressing  a  nature  that  I  must 
say  a  few  words  about  it.  Your  will  understand  at  once 
that  I  refer  to  the  Nation-wide  Campaign.  After  our  Gen- 
eral Convention  last  autumn  in  Portland,  and  the  full  dis- 
cussion of  the  subject  and  the  general  interest  expressed  in 
words  by  representatives  from  all  sections  of  the  Church, 
I  had  hoped  that  the  Campaign  of  1922  Avould  show  great 
advances,  both  in  the  receipts  for  1922  and  in  pledges  for 
1923.  The  result,  however,  has  been  most  astonishing;  I 
would  say  disheartening,  if  we  could  allow  ourselves  to  be 
2  17 


disheartened  in  our  endeavors  for  God's  cause.  I  do  not 
at  all  understand  how  men  can  express  in  words  such  warm 
interest  in  such  a  work — and  then  so  greatly  fail  to  trans- 
mute their  sentiments  into  action.  Only  two  Dioceses  paid 
their  quota  for  1922 — West  Virginia  and  Virginia.  South- 
west Virginia  paid  ninety  per  cent,  of  her  quota,  and  North 
Carolina  eighty-seven  per  cent.  These  four  stand  at  the 
head  of  the  list.  No  other  Diocese,  so  far  as  I  am  informed, 
did  so  well.  And  for  1923  the  prospect  seems  no  better. 
In  our  own  Diocese  the  1923  pledges  approach  the  amount 
apportioned  to  the  Diocese;  and  we  might  look  for  the  full 
payment  of  our  quota,  except  for  the  fact  that  up  to  the  pres- 
ent time  the  payments  fall  so  far  short  of  the  sums  sub- 
scribed in  the  various  parishes.  I  have  no  other  advice  to 
give  in  this  emergency  than  to  suggest  to  all  our  people, 
clergy  and  laity,  that  they  consider  carefully  and  honestly 
the  effect  of  our  experience  up  to  the  present  time  of  our 
efforts  in  this  great  movement.  Consider  what  it  has  done 
for  us  in  our  own  Diocese,  and  in  our  several  congregations. 
Are  we  not  richly  repaid  for  what  we  have  done  for  the 
Church  beyond  our  diocesan  boundaries,  by  the  results  here 
at  home  ?  And  is  it  not  something  to  be  thankful  for,  that 
we  have  in  some  real  degree  come  up  to  the  measure  of  our 
responsibilities  for  the  work  of  the  Church  in  its  broader 
field  at  home  and  abroad  ?  And  is  it  not  of  the  vital  breath 
of  Christianity  that  we  should  be  reaching  up  after  an  ideal 
which  yet  seems  out  of  our  reach  ?  "This  one  thing  I  do ; 
forgetting  the  things  that  are  behind,  I  press  toward  the 
mark  of  our  high-calling."  That  is  the  Nation-wide  Cam- 
paign in  one  practical  application  of  the  Apostle's  principle 
to  our  Church  life.  Let  not  the  Diocese  of  North  Carolina 
decline  from  the  high  standard  it  has  set  before  it.  God 
will  not  forget  our  labor  of  love,  which  love  we  show  for 
His  Name's  sake  when  we  minister  to  His  Saints,  His 
Church. 

The   outstanding  fact   in  the  history  of  the  Diocese  of 
North  Carolina  in  the  year  1922  is  the  Election  and  Con- 

18 


secration  of  our  Bishop  Coadjutor.  I  say  the  Election,  as 
well  as  the  Consecration,  of  our  Bishop  Coadjutor.  We 
believe  that  the  Spirit  of  God  effectuates  with  His  presence, 
His  guidance,  His  blessing,  the  solemn  functions  of  the  Body 
of  Christ.  And  never,  I  make  bold  to  say,  did  we  feel  more 
sure  of  the  Divine  presence,  guidance  and  blessing,  than  in 
the  solemn  hour  of  the  choosing  of  our  Bishop  Coadjutor. 
Among  the  many  happy  and  helpful  experiences  of  my  Epis- 
copate, and  of  my  life,  I  remember  that  as  one  of  the  best. 
And  the  choice,  thus  auspiciously  made,  was  carried  to  full 
effect  on  the  fifteenth  of  October,  1922,  the  twenty-ninth 
anniversary  of  my  own  Consecration  to  the  Episcopate.  On 
that  day,  in  St.  Peter's  Church,  Charlotte,  the  Rev.  Edwin 
Anderson  Penick,  D.D.,  was  duly  ordained  and  Consecrated 
Bishop  Coadjutor  of  this  Diocese.  A  formal  record  of  that 
Consecration  will  be  printed  as  an  Appendix  to  the  Journal 
of  this  Convention.  I  need  not  say  to  this  Convention  that 
the  Bishop  Coadjutor  has  in  his  pastoral  and  Episcopal 
ministrations  fully  justified  the  action  of  the  Convention 
in  choosing  him  for  this  work. 

Behold,  how  good  and  pleasant  a  thing  it  is,  brethren,  to 
dwell  together  in  unity.  We  have  experienced  this  blessing 
abundantly  in  the  past.  May  God  continue  it  to  us,  and 
to  our  children  in  all  the  years  to  come ! 

Jos.  Blount  Cheshire.
